A propped cantilever beam of length 2L is loaded by a uniformly distributed load with intensity q.

Question:

A propped cantilever beam of length 2L is loaded by a uniformly distributed load with intensity q. The beam is supported at B by a linearly elastic rotational spring with stiffness kR, which provides a resisting moment MB due to rotation Î¸B. Use the method of superposition to solve for all reactions. Also draw shear-force and bending-moment diagrams, labeling all critical ordinates. Let kR = EI/L.
